/ World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats! Chapter 101 – Hobrick The Shameless
The morning sun was very gentle, and Locke's favorite way of getting up was being awakened by it.
After jumping out of bed and stretching his body, Locke washed up and headed to the principal's office.
“There's absolutely no problem! He'll definitely wake up…” Jacques took a huge puff of his cigarette and promised Trista, who had been watching over him the whole night.
“There's no problem! This is all thanks to Locke. I didn't expect him to be able to find such a precious medicinal herb!” Although John had not slept all night, he knew that the principal was about to wake up, so he was full of energy.
“That's for the best! I'll immediately inform the kitchen to make some food for the old man!!” Trista was about to leave.
However, Diana suddenly appeared with food in her hands.
“Where are you going? Grab something to eat first! I heard that the principal is about to wake up! I've prepared some food for him too!”
“Hahaha! Alright! Thank you!” Trista's brows that had been tightly knitted for the entire night gradually relaxed at this moment.
“Locke! Tell me quickly! Where did you find this medicine?!” Jacques was leaping with joy.
At this moment, a square object flew out from the second floor window of the lighthouse and hit Jacques head!
“Why are you making so much noise?! Can't you let people have a good sleep?”
Hearing this familiar voice, Jacques ignored his headache and immediately ran upstairs with the other three!
Looking at Principal Hobrick's energetic appearance, the eyes of the four people turned red.
“Hmph! I'm not dead yet! If you want to cry, get out!” Although Hobrick's words were harsh, he had a smile on his face.
He was smart enough to know that the only way to make the people who cared about him feel relieved.
“Of course you can't die! If you die, how would you be able to hear the good news that I have for you?” Without knowing when, Locke had already appeared behind everyone.
Hobrick obviously knew who saved him, and he also knew that Locke had something to say.
Looking at these people who had stayed up all night for him, who were already exhausted, he smiled and said, “Don't worry, everyone, I'm already fine. Thank you for everything you've done for me. Now, go back and rest. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight!”
Naturally, the medical instructors teachers knew that Hobrick's miraculous recovery was a result of the “Heart-saving grass”.
So they were no longer worried and left one after another.
“Tch! The meal you bought was only bread and beef at most, but that was five years ago! This time, I'll make your wallet bleed!” Jacques complained about his stingy teacher.
The few of them immediately laughed, and after making sure that Hobrick was alright, they all went back to catch up on their sleep.
Only John was left to tidy up the bookshelf.
“Speak, kid, what's the good news?” After eating the food that Diana had prepared meticulously, Hobrick looked at Locke who was reading a book.
“The Estelle family… They want to become the exclusive investor of our academy…” While speaking, Locke handed over the agreement that Adelaide had prepared.
“Oh… It's that kid Adelaide. Has he not found a way to break the family curse?” Hobrick muttered while putting on his reading glasses.
The investment conditions were very generous. Hobrick was satisfied with the deal.
Interestingly, Adelaide did not want money in return.
First, he hoped that he could choose a few people from the students who graduated each year to work for the Estelle family and receive preferential treatment.
Second, other than the Estelle family, no other family was allowed to invest in the academy.
Third, this contract would last for ten years. After ten years, the Estelle family would have the right to continue investing and increase the investment by 10% .
“Haha… as expected of the King of Commerce. This deal is extremely calculative!” For a moment, Locke could not tell whether Hobrick was praising or scolding the Estelle family.
Hobrick took off his reading glasses and said, “These conditions are too generous! I can't refuse. I only need to send him my top graduates every year? No problem! The problem of student employment has also been solved!”
John, who was beside the bookshelf, also said, “The reason why he came up with these terms is that he wants to tie his family to our academy. If anything happens in the future, I would be too embarrassed to refuse! “It's worth it to establish an alliance with one of the three great academies on the continent for tens of billions a year to protect their family!”
Locke had already gone through the terms and did not say anything.
Although this agreement seemed very shrewd, Adelaide was not a bad person in his eyes. This guy just wanted to be safe.
“Oh right, do you know about the curse plaguing his family?” Locke flipped through the book and asked.
Hobrick shook his head helplessly. “How many years has it been? His family has looked for many powerful people, but they still can't break it. Sigh… I do loathe nobles, but the Estelles are an exception They only care about business and don't make things difficult for ordinary people. I really hope that this kid can live for a hundred years. Otherwise, where would I find such a generous money bag in the future…”
“But if this curse isn't removed, this kid might die before me. Moreover, he's not married yet, and he doesn't have any children. is the Estelle family going to end in his hands?”
Locke had no way to answer this question because he had asked the System a similar question last night.
However, since it was a violation of the rules, he did not get an answer.
“I wish him the best of luck…” Locke did not bother acting politely. He picked up the coffee that was on Hobrick's plate and prepared to leave.
“Wait…” Hobrick, who had just awakened, was bustling with energy, and as such, he was not bothered by the coffee. He asked with a mysterious expression, “I know that this kid Adelaide has always been generous… and you're the kind of person who doesn't want to meddle in other people's business. Why are you so concerned about this matter of the university's investment?”
'Oh no…' Locke did not expect this old man to be so sharp, he noticed the abnormality so quickly. After raising his eyebrows, he said, “He said that he would continue to improve the quality of the university's restaurants. I have always liked delicious food, so I'm willing to help him build a bridge!”
Hobrick smiled slyly and said, “With money, there will be top-notch cuisine everywhere… Don't give me that crap. Tell me! How much is he paying you? Just give me a third of it…”
'This old man is too smart!'
'And he has the shamelessness to back himself up!'
